### Divisional MO Secondary 2011

Dhaka Divisional Mathematical Olympiad 2011 : Secondary
1. In a box there are $50$ gold rings of $10$ different sizes and $75$ silver rings of $12$ different sizes. The size of a gold ring might be the same as that of a silver ring. What is the minimum number of rings one need to pick up to be sure of having at least two rings different both in size and material?

5. Find the range of the function $f(x)=\frac{\lceil 2x\rceil-2 \lfloor x \rfloor}{\lfloor 2x \rfloor-2\lceil x\rceil}$
Here, $\lceil x\rceil$ represents the minimum integer greater than $x$ and $\lfloor 2x \rfloor$ represents the maximum integer less than $x$.

10. For three non empty finite sets $A, B, C$ the following relations hold:
$B \cap (C – A) = \{ \}$
$B \cap C \not = \{ \}$
$A,B,C \subset N$ ($N$ is the set of natural numbers)
Given that $A = \{1,2,3,4\}, C = \{3,4,5,6\}$ and no element of $B$ is greater than the largest element of $C$ how many possible options are there for $B$?

Problem 7:
Let $f(x)$ be a function with the two properties
(a) for any two real numbers $x$ and $y$, $f (x+ y)= x+ f (y)$ and
(b) $f (0)= 19$

Problem 8:
Four points are chosen in the order $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$ on a line such that there is a point $X$, not on that line, so that triangles $XAB$ and $XCD$ have the same area. If $AB = 8$ and $BC = 5$, find the length $AD$.

Problem 9:
At a convention, flags of $4$ countries are to be hoisted on $2$ poles so that no pole is left empty and all the flags get hoisted. More than one flag must not be placed at the same height of the same pole. Rather, they can be placed above or below an already placed flag. In this manner, more than one flag can be placed serially on a single pole. How many ways can the flags be hoisted?
